Randy It was the worm gear not the planitary gear.I checked out the website you posted. It showed the plastic worm gear as one of the most replaced parts.HA! Did the company forget about quality ? I'll have to check if there is a metal gear replacement. Thanks,cliff

It's just an excuse for useing a cheap part in their mixers and giving their authorized repair dealers more buisiness.How would you like plastic gears in your car to fail,cause you were driving too fast,to prevent possible damage, causing you a blown transmission. cliff

I just got a 5 Qt KitchenAid at Sam's, 350 watt.It stalls with heavy doughs, thats a no no for sure!I am mixing doughs very moist from now on! I got it so hot the moter was stinking! It still works fine.Wish I had got the 525 watt one now but it might not do the 6 cup batches any better, live and learn.
